Who Owns This Book, And Are You Willing To Sell It?

An extremely hard to find issue of HOM. And it just so happens to be my favorite Neal Adams HOM cover. This book was listed on the Comic Link for sale section a few years back, along with other DC horror books belonging to the Mass. pedigree. After a while, the seller pulled all of them from the site. I'm interested in making an offer for it, since it's next to impossible to find on the market. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

This is a beautiful looking copy! I am gradually learning more about DC titles, as I am primarily a high-grade Marvel KEY collector, but I can definitely appreciate pristine pieces like this gem!

If I see or hear anything regarding this issue, I will definitely reach out! (thumbsu

I didn't realize it was that hard to find. Looking at sales history I see it is. Two sales of 9.2's on comic link in 2016 and 2017, maybe the Mass copy was one or both of those sales. 190 is in my top 3 HOM horror covers, love the purple sky and the 3 dimensional look of the cover. I wonder if it was supposed to be a Witching Hour cover when Ol' Neal created it.  There are 24 copies out there from 9.0 to 9.4 so one will come around eventually and when it does bid like heck on it. Good luck with your hunt.

PS waited for a HOM 178 (my personal fav) in at least 9.2 to come around for at least 6 or 7 years and finally snagged one this past March on CC. Good things come to those who wait. Ok, I can't resist an opportunity to show it off

Professor Chaos - The pictured copy here of the Mass. HOM 190 was not sold on Comic Link. The book was pulled from the sales section by the owner, as I stated in my journal. And that copy is the only one I'll settle for. So the hunt here is for whoever that owner is.
